I don't think it's much more than a perk. It doesn't stop someone from identifying you by other means, or photographing the rest of your body, or memorizing your face and drawing a police sketch. Yes, it closes off one easy avenue, but a halfway-determined searcher will still be able to hunt you down.

Good point -- and addendum -- about modern picture ID's by the way. Although from what I can tell of some folks' driver's license pictures, those aren't the best resemblances anyway. :)
